PRIVACY STATEMENT

SECTION 1 - WHAT DO WE DO WITH YOUR INFORMATION?

When you purchase something from our store, as part of the buying and selling process, we collect the personal information you provide, such as your name, address, and email address.

When you browse our store, we automatically receive your computer’s Internet Protocol (IP) address. This helps us understand your browser and operating system to improve your experience on our site.

Email Marketing: With your explicit consent, we may send you emails about our store, new products, and other updates. You can withdraw your consent at any time (see Section 2 for more details).

SECTION 2 - CONSENT

How do you get my consent?

When you provide us with personal information to complete a transaction, verify your credit card, place an order, arrange for delivery, or return a purchase, we consider this an implied consent for collecting and using it solely for that purpose.

If we request your personal information for a secondary purpose, such as marketing, we will either ask you directly for your explicit consent or provide you with the opportunity to opt out.

How do I withdraw my consent?

If you change your mind after opting in, you may withdraw your consent for us to contact you, as well as for the continued collection, use, or disclosure of your information, at any time. You can do this by contacting us at gangoffourcoimbra@gmail.com or by mailing us at:

SECTION 3 - DISCLOSURE

We may disclose your personal information if required by law or if you violate our Terms of Service.

SECTION 4 - SHOPIFY

Our store is hosted on Shopify Inc. They provide us with the online e-commerce platform that allows us to sell our products and services to you.

Your data is stored through Shopify’s data storage, databases, and the general Shopify application. They store your data on a secure server behind a firewall.

Payment:

If you choose a direct payment gateway to complete your purchase, Shopify stores your credit card data. It is encrypted through the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI-DSS). Your purchase transaction data is stored only as long as necessary to complete your purchase transaction. After completion, your purchase transaction information is deleted.

All direct payment gateways adhere to the standards set by PCI-DSS, which is managed by the PCI Security Standards Council, a joint effort of brands like Visa, MasterCard, American Express, and Discover.

PCI-DSS requirements help ensure the secure handling of credit card information by our store and its service providers.

For more insight, you may also want to read Shopify’s Terms of Service or Privacy Statement.

SECTION 5 - THIRD-PARTY SERVICES

In general, the third-party providers we use will collect, use, and disclose your information only to the extent necessary to allow them to perform the services they provide to us.

However, certain third-party service providers, such as payment gateways and other payment transaction processors, have their own privacy policies regarding the information we are required to provide to them for your purchase-related transactions.

We recommend that you read their privacy policies so you can understand how your personal information will be handled by these providers.

International Transfers of Data:

Please be aware that certain providers may be located in or have facilities that are located in a different jurisdiction than either you or us. If you proceed with a transaction involving the services of a third-party provider located in another jurisdiction, your information may become subject to the laws of that jurisdiction.

For example, if you are located in the European Union and your transaction is processed by a payment gateway located in the United States, your personal information used in completing that transaction may be subject to disclosure under U.S. legislation, including the Patriot Act.

Once you leave our store’s website or are redirected to a third-party website or application, you are no longer governed by this Privacy Policy or our website’s Terms of Service.

When you click on links on our store, they may direct you away from our site. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of other sites and encourage you to read their privacy statements.

Google Analytics:

Our store uses Google Analytics to help us learn about who visits our site and what pages are being viewed.

SECTION 6 - SECURITY

If you provide us with your credit card information, the information is encrypted using Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology and stored with AES-256 encryption. Although no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure, we comply with all PCI-DSS requirements and implement additional generally accepted industry standards.
